He winced. "....I-It was....it was /my fault/ I died, I was so /stupid/...."

"Is that a bad thing, honestly?"

2015-12-29 06:07:26

"...how is it /not/?"

"Just because you died intentionally, doesn't mean that you're a coward for taking the 'easy way' out. I mean, look at you now."

"N-no, that's not it, there were other people in the building, and because I made a stupid mistake, they /all/ died! Nothing was intentional, just stupid, so stupid...."

●

"It was still something that happened in the past."

"....so selfish....even then, I was....horrible....." I ended the lives of so many people. All because I was a selfish idiot. In such a painful way.... I buried my head in my hands. "....I...I'm sorry...."

She slowly reached over, pulled his hands away, and held his chin to face him to look at her. "You're not horrible. You just didn't know."

"...they didn't deserve to die. They didn't do anything, I should've been the only one to..." One of my tears hit the burn on my neck and I grimaced.

With her other hand, she wiped away his tears using her thumb. "It's alright now. Really. It is."

Mikael held the door to the building open for a blonde woman in a sharp business suit. In her forties or so. They were the first ones there, as usual. They entered the elevator together, and it stopped at the seventh floor. Her office was higher up. Understandable, since she was the CEO. She turned to him, frowned slightly, and took his face in her hands. "Du har inte ihåg att tvätta, det gjorde du." "Naturligtvis gjorde jag. Jag gör alltid." "Tja, du missade en fläck." She rubbed a fleck of pollen off his cheekbone and sighed before giving him a quick kiss on the forehead. "Låt inte ner mig i dag." He smiled. "När har jag någonsin? ...ha en bra dag, mamma." He kissed her on the cheek and left the elevator to get to work.

When he returned to the here and now, he was whimpering. "...mamma....she worked there too, I killed...my /mother/....!"

"You didn't kill anyone."

2015-12-29 06:36:33

"...mamma...mamma, I....." He hugged her tightly, crying. "She died and it's all my fault...!"

2015-12-29 06:39:22

She returned the tight hug. "It's alright. It's okay. I'm here. Just take a deep breath."

"....I don't want this...." He gasped for breath for a few seconds until it was steady again, and tried to wipe his eyes with one of the hands behind her back. ".....let me forget again. Please."

"...I can't do that Madison."

"/Please/....I can't live with this...it won't change me, I swear..."

2015-12-29 06:51:31

●

"I don't want to risk it. They'll come back anyway."

2015-12-29 06:56:37

🌀

"Then you can just do it again, and again, and....it hurts......"

2015-12-29 06:59:52

●

"I know...I know it does."

2015-12-29 07:03:25

🌀

"...I'm...terrible. Just make it...go away....maybe I'll change for the better..."

2015-12-29 07:06:05

●

"You're not terrible. I'm not erasing it Madison."

2015-12-29 07:09:58

🌀

"....why not? It'd make me happy...and even if it didn't..."

2015-12-29 07:11:00

●

"I'm not risking for it to go wrong."

2015-12-29 07:12:35

"....if it does....oh well."
